Yamaha CX-A5100 titanium

The Yamaha CX-A5100 preamp processor is, as is now common practice, a complete digital platform that centralizes all of today’s and tomorrow’s audio and video sources. We’re talking about DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD processing, a front USB input for iPod/iPhone, AirPlay compatibility, and a DLNA media gateway to retrieve audio files from a NAS hard drive or computer, as well as of course an array of HDMI inputs and outputs (eight on one side, two on the other) - compatible with MHL, 3D and Ultra HD (4K). The Yamaha CX-A5100 also offers a very comprehensive proprietary video processing equipped with numerous sophisticated filters and noise reducers in addition to 1080p and 4K upscaling of all incoming video resolutions.
